Preparation of Long Afterglow Photoluminescent Material SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ and Its Luminescent Property

Long lasting strontium aluminate phosphors were synthesized by means of coated precipitation in the experiment. SrAl 2O 4 monoclinic phase with long afterglow was synthesized at 1 100 ℃ with the aid of H 3BO 3, and the synthetic temperature decreased about 100 ℃—150 ℃ than in solid state reaction. The process of heat treatment was studied by TG-DTA. The phase compositions of powders were analyzed by XRD. The micrographs of the samples were investigated by SEM and the luminescent properties were researched by optical spectrum. The effects of H 3BO 3 on the phase composition and microstructure of the calcined powders were investigated. The results indicated that H 3BO 3 accelerated the formation of SrAl 2O 4 by consuming the intermediate phase. The addition of Dy 2O 3 stimulated the afterglow property due to the increase in the depth of the trap center in the materials.
